Key Points

• The pandemic created a need for companies to adapt to a new environment in record time, testing the limits of artificial intelligence, machine learning, cutting-edge computing and other emerging technologies.

Key Points

• Innovation stacks occur when facing unique problems. The solution to one problem leads to another, sometimes several problems. This chain can reoccur until you end up with a collection of both independent and interlocking inventions, or you fail.
• Innovation stacks result in unique innovations and can be applied to new industries.

Key Points

• The government and private sector have worked closely together for many years.
• Because we've gone from the government introducing the technologies that transform the security landscape to private sectors introducing that new tech, the responsibility of thinking about how our actions affect the security landscape tend to fall on those sectors.

• The public-private relationship, at its best, works in both directions.

Key Points

• Data is an asset that needs to be protected. Using data helps us make better decisions when faced with a crisis such as Covid-19.
• Digital transformation will not only impact how we survive now but also how we thrive in the future.
